Chapter 2227
After Sylvia went out of Sebastian's room, she let out a small chuckle, then burst into peals of laughter.
She still felt that Sebastian was being a bit too stubborn. It was obvious that he had feelings for Claudia, yet he kept on pretending as if nothing had happened. The more he tried to put on a calm front, the more suspicious it seemed.
However, she felt that he must have his reasons for rejecting Claudia.
Sylvia understood that there were some things that she should not force Sebastian to reveal.
Taking a last glance at the tightly-shut bedroom door, Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and went downstairs.
She guessed that her parents should have ended their kiss by then!
However, when she was about to reach the first floor, she realized that they were still hugging each other.
And the kiss was not over yet.
Sylvia stood frozen to the spot, dumbfounded.
It had gone on for long enough, hadn't it? Sylvia thought to herself.
After going back upstairs, she had gone to Sebastian's room for about three minutes. Then, she had sent him a text, which took about half a minute. Walking back down the stairs probably took another half a minute, so she had been gone for about five minutes already.
Even so, they were still holding each other close and kissing.
It was simply too astonishing.
Sylvia blinked, feeling a sense of admiration for her parents.
For them to be able to keep the kiss going for so long showed that their relationship was as strong as ever.
If they did not have a strong relationship, they probably would not be that passionate anymore at their age.
Seeing how her parents were in such a good relationship, she could not help but feel somewhat envious.
She hoped that Kendrix and her would be able to maintain a strong and loving relationship, get married someday, and be by each other's side until the very end.
As she thought of Kendrix, her cheeks flushed slightly.
She stood on the stairs for a while, hesitating about whether she should turn around and go back to her room or go downstairs.
"Sylvia!"
Suddenly, she heard Grace's voice.
She immediately returned to her senses and turned to look at Grace. Only then did she realize then that her parents were already sitting apart from each other, and her mother was looking at her in embarrassment.
The shy expression on Grace's face was like an expression a young girl would have.
It was evident that she was a happy woman in love.
Before Sylvia could think of what to say, Grace had already turned around to look at Heinz. Her gaze held a hint of blame as she said something to Heinz in a soft voice.
Heinz glanced at Sylvia. He did not how long she had been standing at the stairs, but it was surprising that she had not left.
Noticing his sharp, warning gaze, Sylvia chuckled. "You have such a good relationship. There's no need to be shy, Mommy. It just shows that you have a really good relationship with Dad."
As she spoke, she walked toward her parents.
Grace also took the opportunity to compose herself.
After calming herself down a little, she looked up at Sylvia without saying anything.
Sylvia sat down beside Grace and gently shook her mother's shoulder while laughing.
"Mommy, why are you blushing? What's there to be shy about? It's not like I'd laugh at you."
She said that she would not laugh, but she was grinning from ear to ear.
Grace cleared her throat, trying hard to find some words to explain herself.
Before she could speak, Heinz said, "If you stumble across such a situation again in the future, you should leave the room."
Ugh! Sylvia thought to herself, exasperated.
Sylvia was dumbfounded for a moment, then she burst into laughter.
She nodded and answered, "Actually, Sebastian and I came down the stairs a little while back. We did leave, and we even stayed upstairs for a while. I thought that it was safe to come back downstairs, but didn't expect to see you both still at it after a few minutes."
Sylvia gazed at Heinz as she spoke. There was a hidden meaning behind her words. It was as if she was saying that it was not that she did not avoid it, but it was because they were doing it for too long.
As soon as Sylvia said that, Grace's cheeks became even redder.
She shot Heinz a stern look.
She blamed it on him. It was all because he had not wanted to let her go and kept asking for more.
Heinz felt very wronged.
He looked at Grace pitifully, his eyes seeming to say that it was not just him alone that could not control himself.
The tacit understanding between them for so many years made Grace immediately understand the look in his eyes. Grace's cheeks burned even
more.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She glared at her him, then averted her gaze. She looked at Sylvia gravely and said, "Sebastian came down just now? Why isn't he with you now?"
"Mommy, don't misunderstand me. I
really didn't mean to sneak up on you and Daddy." Afraid that Grace would misunderstand, Sylvia quickly tried to explain herself. However, it seemed that the more she tried to explain, the more muddled things became.
She took a deep breath, looked at Grace, then at
Heinz.
Heinz did not seem to want to help her at all. Only then did Sylvia realize that she seemed to have offended her parents.
Uh-oh. Sylvia thought to herself.
It seemed that she should have left just now.
But so what?
She was not afraid of offending her parents at all.
It was not like she had never encountered such situations before.
She had seen them being showing their affection to each other like that many times before.
"Don't look at me like that. Actually,
I'm more embarrassed than you
both." Sylvia smiled as she
explained, "After all, the hall downstairs is considered a public area. The both of you should've avoided us if you wanted to make out. It would've been best if you both went into your room. If you make out in the hall, isn't it because you don't mind if we see you?"
Grace gasped. She did not know how to refute Sylvia's words.
She had no choice but to show her dignity as a mother and say solemnly, "All right. Let's just let this matter go for now." "Which matter?" Sylvia asked
daringly.
"That's enough, Sylvia. Stop teasing your mother," Heinz interjected. "She feels embarrassed enough, and she would feel even more awkward if you harp on like that."
Sylvia nodded while smiling. "Okay, Dad."
Out of respect for Heinz, she did not continue pursuing that topic.
At that moment, the butler came up to them.
He had wanted to approach them earlier to ask if they could start the meal. However, he had also seen Heinz and Grace kissing on the couch. Feeling awkward, he had left hurriedly.
Now, he came in because he heard Sylvia's voice.
The butler did not show any signs of awkwardness. He merely asked respectfully, "Shall we serve dinner?"
"Sure," Grace replied.
"Okay," the butler quickly responded and left.
